How To Overcome Any Problem In Life

Throughout my life, I've had people ask me to pray for them. I began asking what they wanted me to pray for and what they were doing to fix the problem they were praying about. A few of them said they didn't know what to do except pray. I remember I told a few of them what they could do to help their situation, but made it clear they had to be very disciplined about it and could be no exceptions. They listened to me and several months later, their health problem was gone. The difference with these people is they took action. They didn't sit back and wait for God to take care of their problem. Now, I don't know how to help everyone and don't have all the answers. But when I am faced with a problem, I first pray about it, then immediately start researching and learning everything I can to fix the problem. I become determined and focused like a fighter pilot!

I remember when I was in school, there was a gentleman that came and spoke to us in the gymnasium. He had no arms or legs. I remember how confident he was and became so inspired by how much he had accomplished in his life. He didn't have a victim mentality or make excuses why he couldn't do something. Instead, he realized all God had given him and took advantage of it. He was so on fire about life and all of us kids came out of there so empowered we felt like we could accomplish anything.

Nitzia and I work very hard and are focused with our photography profession. We don't ask people to pray for us because we know God gives us everything we need to accomplish our goals. We are aware some people do pray for us and we truly appreciate it. I am led to pray for different people at different times. It's important to pray for each other, but it's more important to make sure we are doing everything we can ourselves to fix the problem first before we start asking others to pray. My daily relationship with God means the world to me. He empowers me to overcome and handle whatever problem that arises. He also gives me the wisdom to do the things to prevent problems from ever happening in the first place. Our God is amazing and I don't believe He ever wants us to be led by our fears or feel weak and helpless. God is our Rock, our Salvation. He is the Almighty and created this great landscape you see Nitzia in the picture below. God consistently empowers and inspires us in all our adventures!

How To Get The Best Hiking Experience In Sedona

First of all... stay away from places that have been blown up by Instagram, like Devil's Bridge. Unfortunately, the same thing is happening to our beloved Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock and Merry Go Round. But don't worry... Sedona is known as the place of a thousand secrets. Also, Sedona isn't called "the most beautiful place on Earth" for no reason! Most tourists are wanting easy access to amazing places. But thankfully, the far more beautiful places are secretly hidden. The old saying goes, the best things come to those who work for it. Let me tell you... 99% of people who come to Sedona never see the real beauty of Sedona. When you get off trail and explore... that's when Sedona comes alive. Get ready to be blown away! These hidden dramatic places are the real reason why Sedona got its name as being the most beautiful place on Earth. But to be honest... you would never have time to find these places without a good guide to help you there. They are just too secret, and thankfully so. Visiting these special destinations gives a very spiritual experience. Just imagine... you are the only one there, so you are able to fully enjoy it and take in the beauty without competing with other tourists. Nitzia and I learned over the years... in order to get the best from our trips to new places, we always find a good guide. That way, we're not wasting our precious time. Best of all, we're not having to deal with any tourists. Nitzia and I have been guiding in Sedona for years and know the best places. We love seeing the expression on peoples faces when they see these special locations. We love sharing this experience with couples. That's why we have focused on making our photography an experience rather than just a session. We hear all the time that it's one of the best experiences they've ever had. We take pride in this because we feel we're making a real difference in peoples lives. Best of all, we're giving them memories professionally captured they can share and have forever!

How To Get In The Best Shape Of Your Life!

Why you need to be intermittent fasting, and why I never eat breakfast...

Reason 1: When you fast, you create an Epigenetic Effect. This means, 'above genes'. In other words, if you were born with bad genes, fasting turns off the bad genes and help turn on the good genes hid deep in your Genetic strands. This means you live longer, are healthier and can resist more diseases.

Reason 2: You create Autophagy when you fast. What this means is you get the junk out of the trunk sort of speak. Autophagy is recycling all of the bad dead cells in your body into new ones, which make you LOOK YOUNGER. When you're eating throughout the day, your body never gets a chance to do this because it's spending all its energy trying to digest the food constantly in your body you've been consuming. Imagine always having your colon full of food and never getting a chance to clean itself out and rejuvenate. When you're eating 3 meals a day and maybe even snacking in between, your body doesn't get a chance to create Autophagy. This is so stressful to your body, so start fasting!

Reason 3: Decreased Inflammation: When you're fasting... it gives your body time to heal and clean itself out. Inflammation is the beginning of all diseases. So what this means is you are dramatically decreasing your risk of cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, viruses and the list goes on and on!

Reason 4: Increased Antioxidants! You get antioxidants from eating colorful foods, but your body can also make them. When you're fasting, your body starts producing more antioxidants, which protects you against oxidation, aging and pollution.

Reason 5: You become LESS hungry. When you're fasting, your body finally gets a chance to start burning the energy from the fat in your body. But when you're eating 3 meals a day, your body doesn't get this opportunity. Fat is your most efficient form of energy, so when your body switches to running off your own fat instead of constantly trying to live off and digest all the carbs and protein you're eating, then your body becomes efficient and you become less hungry... able to do more while thinking more clearly.

There are so many benefits of fasting. These are just a few of the reasons why I never eat breakfast. This would be breaking my fast from the night before. Skipping breakfast increases my fasting time, so I never eat before 1pm. Quite often, I wait till supper time, which means I only had one meal that day. This lifestyle allows me to hike all day without any problems whatsoever. In other words, I feel like Superman on this diet!

There are so many benefits of Intermittent Fasting. Bottom line... your health depends on it!
